Mathwar, Mar 27: Blaming the Congress for history’s worst type of turmoil in the Valley, senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana today said the party is responsible for murder of democracy in J&K that created havoc in the lives of the people, especially during the past several decades.
“The Congress is the sole architect of separatistic build-up in connivance with the local political partners, resulting in destruction and death of over 40,000 youth post 1990 turmoil,” Devender Rana said while addressing public meetings in 10 Panchayats of the Mathwar Block along with senior BJP leader and former minister Shyam Lal Sharma and others.
He held the Congress responsible for all that happened in the paradise on earth and said that bringing back the Valley on the right track during the past five years, since the abrogation of Article 370, has been a remarkable achievement of the visionary Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “The effective and the people centric BJP led NDA government has brought about a discernible change in the overall situation and put J&K on fast track development, economic resurgence and opening up of avenues to progress and prosperous every segment of society, irrespective of religion, region and caste as per the cherished agenda of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas. As a result of path breaking initiatives the people of J&K in general and the Valley in particular have developed huge stakes in peace, by saying good bye to hartal and stone pelting culture, which has positively impacted the economy of the entire Union Territory,” Rana said.
The senior BJP leader added that Jammu and Kashmir is close to the heart of the BJP leadership that has been striving for the socio-economic upliftment of the Union Territory in a big way. He referred to the launch of various projects and schemes, saying this will transform this part of the country economically. Rana said the industrial and health infra, startups and self help groups besides road work have witnessed special impetus during the past over four years. Equitable share in the funds allocation to all the regions and the sub-regions remains a hallmark of the planning strategy of the double engine government, which is something unheard of during the earlier dispensations, he added.
Rana said that for the first time the element of discrimination and appeasement have been overtaken by fair-play in the governance and every pocket of Jammu and Kashmir is now witnessing transformation.
